Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 Reveal Date Already Decided, Says Nomura

With two games in the bag, the finale of the Final Fantasy Remake Trilogy is inevitably drawing closer. Last year saw the middle chapter of the saga, Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth, released on console and PC, and producer Tetsuya Nomura says that Square Enix knows exactly when it’ll officially reveal the game. Just don’t expect him to provide a reveal date–for the reveal date–for the game announcement just yet.

“It is going very smoothly,” Nomura said during a recent Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis livestream (translated by Genki JPN on Twitter/X). “The announcement timing has been decided, and we will stick to that schedule, so please rest assured and wait.”

Nomura also added that work on Kingdom Hearts 4 is “progressing well and according to schedule,” but he remained quiet on any other details regarding the long-in-development game. As for Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3, it remains to be seen if Square Enix will formally announce the game on its own channels or through a partner event. Final Fantasy 7 Remake was first revealed during the 2015 PlayStation Showcase during E3 2015, while Final Fantasy: Rebirth was unveiled during Summer Game Fest 2023.

Details on the game are being kept under wraps for now, but back in January, series producer Yoshinori Kitase revealed that the story scenario for it was completed by the end of 2024 and that he was “very satisfied” with it. Game director Naoki Hamaguchi also confirmed that development on the third game began right after Rebirth was completed.

While Rebirth introduced some big changes and plot twists to the established lore of Final Fantasy 7, one of the other big changes we could see is a multiplatform release for the game. The previous Final Fantasy 7 remake games were timed exclusives for PS4 and PS5, but Square Enix’s new multiplatform strategy to secure long-term growth could see the game launch the same day on PC and Xbox Series X|S so that it can reach a wider audience.
